US favors supplying Argentina with vintage F16s to counter Chinese influence and despite UK's objection

[beijingwalker]

China modeled the PLA after US. China hired Americans across all industries to help rebuild their country. The CPC studied American politics. And I can go on...

So how is that not obsessing about US?

So US is obsessed with UK?

Why not?

LOL beautiful. Now the Yanks are going to anger the Brits to satisfy their anti-China fetish. Nice. Really really nice.

It kinda reminds me of Pakistan situation LOL Anger India and handover F-16s to Pakistan as a token of gratitude.

Hi,

The brits won't be angry---but rather happy---because the US cuts the wings of the argentinian air force---.

The weaponry on the JF17 BLK3 would be the same weaponry as any other 4.5 gen aircraft---something about which the brits do not know much about----other than that it is of the same caliber as their own weapons or better---.

Bottom line---the argentinian took too much time in deciding what to get---.

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

It also shows how strong the BLK 3 JF17 is and how desperately the US wanted to contain its sale---.

By offering used 1980's era planes?

 

[Avicenna]

Might as well disband their air force if they are gonna get the F-16.

You better believe UK would prefer that over JF-17 or anything Chinese.

And still serving to this day. Goes to show how great of platform the F-16s are.
Unlike whatever the chicoms are peddling. There's a reason why countries avoid chinese made weapons like the plague.

Technical Problems Ground Myanmar’s JF-17 Fighter Jets Bought From China

The $25-million jets arrived with structural problems but post-coup sanctions and a lack of local expertise make it impossible to fix them, ex-Air Force pilots say.

These are 1980s-era F-16A/B that are no threat to the Typhoons and the F-35Bs that the UK can deploy.

No big deal.

Then Argentina shall not be stupid enough to buy it.

That's already been debunked to be a false propaganda article.

Nice try... Try harder with a more credible source.

The Irrawaddy - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Irrawaddy (Burmese: ဧရာဝတီ; MLCTS: ei: ra wa. ti) is a news website by the Irrawaddy Publishing Group (IPG), founded in 1990[1] by Burmese exiles living in Thailand

You think an exile groups really know Myanmar military well or just make up some garbage to smear the Junta?

 

[renhai]

China can donate free J-10C to Argentina as foreign aid to counter the Anglo proposal. Money is printed. China prints money.

你是不是有饼？？？

Irrawaddy is a news site setup by those exiled hy Myanmar. They are anti government pro militant.

The news isn't intended to trash on anyone's tech, rather to trash on Myanmar as a whole.

 

[hussain0216]

Yep, this is what happened with the JF17 deal

The U.S saw what was happening and stepped in

If Argentina was smart it would respectfully decline the F16s and carry on with the deal, however Argentina has its own set if economic problems and it will most likely not be in a position to deny the U.S and will see that it's best bet is to accept the F16s and ask for major economic support

Both the US and UK will know that once the Argentines have the F16s the U.S controls the support and parts and weapons packages

Trashing specific brand new jets to trash the tatmadaw is an odd way of going about it.
